“…Community geography provides a further model for geographers to integrate activist scholarship into research and teaching institutions through the establishment and support of collaborations with community-members (Robinson and Hawthorne 2018 ; Shannon et. al 2020 ).…”

“…Foundational considerations for the growing sub-discipline of community geography have largely examined techniques for leveraging the resources of research and teaching institutions towards supporting the needs of diverse community members (see for example Robinson and Hawthorne 2018 ). Inspired by feminist and black geographies and methodological framings of pragmatism, community geography is sensitive to relations of power and positionality while allowing for a broad range of approaches and methods (Shannon et.…”

“…Even as universities are (re)embracing their role in public discourse and community engagement, the (stronger) pressures for a neoliberal, economicvalue-centered university model remain (Mountz et al, 2015;Wright, 2019). These contrary forces underlie the gap between universities' discourses of engagement and the realities of limited practical support for and acceptance of community-based and participatory research (Pain, 2014;Robinson & Hawthorne, 2018).…”

Participatory research holds the potential to decolonize knowledge production and put research into action to advance social justice aims and the concerns of participant communities. Participatory approaches are becoming more accepted, yet the output and impact demands researchers must fulfil remain mismatched to participatory work, driven instead by a neoliberal academic model. In this context, I see a cautionary tale in the history of participatory practices among international development institutions, where participation was brought into the mainstream but in the process hollowed out and de-radicalized. Reflecting on my experiences with two participatory research projects over the course of my PhD studies, I ask whether the incomplete opening for participatory research could similarly push research in particular directions. Specifically, I consider whether participatory work with strong organizational partners will be structurally favored over potential partnerships with non-organized or highly marginalized communities and groups.

“…We set forth a challenge for co‐production and/or participatory research about all topics to take seriously how, in whichever research we conduct, the voices and experiences of people with a host of mind–body–emotional states, of various ages, and with a host of migration trajectories, and, of course, other “axes of power‐relations” (Butler, ) can participate in research about the various topics we might want to co‐produce. There is clearly a need to reflect critically about who are the “communities” we engage with (Robinson & Hawthorne, ) and to ensure they are inclusive in order to ensure that the “voices from the margins” are always central to our scholarly endeavours.…”

This introduction to the themed special issue raises provocative questions about the nature and meaning of co‐production by engaging specifically with voices from the margins – groups and individuals who occupy marginalised embodied subjectivities. Key themes emerging from the papers raise questions about the nature and meaning of co‐production. We suggest a need to move away from a focus on co‐production or even participation towards empowerment and inclusivity. We urge researchers to be explicit about the meaning of the terms “participation” or “co‐production” to think critically about the “communities” with whom we research and how research forges positive social change.
